Summary

"Freedom's Battle" by Mahatma Gandhi is a compilation of writings and speeches from the early 1920s that explores the complex challenges India experienced under British colonial rule. It focuses on significant topics such as the Khilafat Movement, the demand for political rights, and the larger fight for independence and fairness, all while capturing the atmosphere of the post-World War I era. Gandhi examines how British policies impacted Muslim communities and promotes harmony between Hindus and Muslims in their common pursuit of liberation. By pointing out the flaws in British reforms, Gandhi emphasizes the importance of unity and nonviolent resistance to combat perceived injustices. The collection highlights themes of nationalism, social justice, and the duties of citizens during a tumultuous period.
